The venue's 2015 production of Othello, starring Hugh Quarshie and Lucian Msamati and directed by Iqbal Khan, will be then be broadcast on Sunday 12 July at 9.30pm. The piece was commended when it first premiered, receiving a solid four-star write-up from WhatsOnStage.
The pair are the last in a series of RSC shows that have been broadcast on the BBC as part of the organisation's "Culture in Quarantine" scheme – with a half dozen productions currently available on BBC iPlayer.
